Lamya Gargash, Nima Nabavi, Sara Naim, and Tarek Al-Ghoussein participate in Rays, Ripples, Residue, a group exhibition at 421, Abu Dhabi, UAE, co-curated by Munira Al Sayegh, Nadine Khalil, and Murtaza Vali.
‘Rays, Ripples, Residue’ explores the lasting impressions, afterimages, and the material residues that have shaped exhibition-making and artistic production in the UAE over the past decade. Since 2015, the local art scene has evolved into a dynamic ecosystem, marked by the rise of artist-led initiatives, expanded institutional support, and growing international visibility through biennales, art fairs, and cultural diplomacy. This period has also witnessed deeper engagement with regional histories, identity, and decolonial narratives, reflected across both institutional and independent platforms.
The exhibition is on view from 1 November 2025 through 26 April 2026.
